XGen Hair below Hat

As shown in the image, how would you prevent xgen from penetrating the hat?
I tried it with the modifier "collision" + "hat.abc", but that didn't worked out as we can see.

Is there geometry inside the hat?

Just spitballing here, I don't know a lot about xgen, but i had similar problems in marvelous designer before. I ended up making some simple shapes that i drag around as helpers to nudge things into place when needed.

yeah it is, partly, but that "separate simple shapes" thing is a good idea, i could use that as a proxy mesh (hat). i will let you know if that worked out, thanks!

Hi, did you manage to solve this issue? I am in your same situation. Thanks

I ended up "combing" the hair so that i won't penetrate the mesh, also i did "masked out" some upper parts of the hair-region
